Floor Dumbbell Fly

Description

The floor dumbbell fly is an effective exercise for targeting your chest muscles with added support from the floor. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing each other).
  2. Extend your arms straight above your chest with a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc, keeping the slight bend in your elbows and stopping when your upper arms touch the floor.
  4. Pause briefly, then bring the dumbbells back together above your chest, squeezing your chest muscles.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
